Peak of Indonesia

Introduction

By Ludy Andria

Volcanoes, in Indonesian word gunung api (fire mountain), are main part of the Indonesia Archipelago. Mainly, they stretch from northern tip of Sumatera, swing southward along Java and continue further east to the Moluccas. Some other volcanoes are scattered on the northern Celebes Island. After compiling some data on the internet (mostly from Wikipedia), we found 145 volcanoes that had been named, excluding the submarine volcanoes.
